RECOMMENDATIONS ON CORRECT MEASUREMENTS
1. For correct measurement you should know that THE BLOOD PRESSURE IS
SUBJECT TO SHARP VARIATIONS EVEN WITHIN THE SHORT TIME INTERVALS.
The blood pressure depends on many factors. It is usually lower in summer and
higher in winter. The blood pressure varies together with the atmospheric pres-
sure, depends on physical loads, emotional excitement, stresses and dietary
regime. Drugs, drinking alcohol and smoking produce signifi cant eff ect. Even
the very procedure of blood pressure measurement in a polyclinic sends the
blood pressure high in many people, thus, the blood pressure measured at
home often diff ers from the values received in a polyclinic. As the blood pressure
tends to rise at low temperatures, make measurements at an indoor temperature
(approximately 20° C). If this Device stayed under a low temperature, keep it for
at least 1 hour at an indoor temperature before use, otherwise the measurement
result may be incorrect. During a day the diff erence in readings for healthy peo-
ple may be 30-50 mmHg of systolic pressure and to 10 mmHg of diastolic pres-
sure. The dependence of the blood pressure on various factors is individual for
each person. Accordingly, it is recommended to keep a special book with blood
pressure records. ONLY A CERTIFIED DOCTOR USING YOUR RECORDS IS CAPABLE
TO ANALYZE THE TENDENCY OF YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE VARIATIONS.
2. At cardiovascular and some other diseases requiring blood pressure
monitoring make measurements in the hours fi xed by your attending doctor.
REMEMBER THAT THE DIAGNOSTIC AND ANY TREATMENT OF HYPERTENSION
MAY BE CONDUCTED ONLY BY A CERTIFIED DOCTOR ON THE BASIS OF BLOOD
PRESSURE VALUES OBTAINED BY THIS DOCTOR. TAKING OF DRUGS AND THEIR
DOSES SHOULD BE PRESCRIBED ONLY BY YOUR ATTENDING DOCTOR.
